Board Game Arena

Can I be added please? Would love to test. I only have 41 games so far and don't qualify yet to be a reviewer.

My favorite strategy is a winning strategy. I'm not very good at this game still but what I've noticed is that good players are very flexible in their approach and can win in all sorts of creative and interesting ways. That said, I love sponsor heavy games. Chaining them together esp science tags is...

You just need to learn how to terraform faster. I promise you that AI Central is not OP.

Genuinely don't think any card is ban worthy. Being able to play Earth Cata on Gen 3 or earlier is probably the most OP thing. But if it's drawn after that it's only okay. I think it would be nice if it had a requirement attached to it for balance. I'd say Kelp Farming and Nitrogen-Rich-Asteroid are...

You pass when you can feasibly get more value out of the card later. It's really that simple. By passing you give up on the potential TR income/bonus for one round and instead get more flexibility to decide after another research phase. Good players can tell which line is stronger. An example is SP'...

If you had the pick between Thorgate and Inventrix (non-corp era) with a decent choice of starting cards: Which one would you pick? It depends on what cards. If there are Science cards like AI Central then Inventrix. If there are power synergies then Thorgate. Not ideal obviously but you can make i...

Thanks for the tips. I've gone from 200 > 330 ELO in a week since I've tried to be leaner on buying cards and terraforming aggressively.

I mostly play ground game now over science/engine unless the cards align for it.

I still don't really get how to 'terraform fast'. You have to drop cities to capitalize on the greenery you put down. And unless you're playing Credicor it's very inefficient to spend your money on standard projects over playing cards. And by terraform you mean putting tiles down rather than heat ri...

Mind you I'm only a lowly 200 ELO player, but when playing Corporate Era 3p so far, the game has very often been decided very early by who gets the most science tags. 3 of my last 4 games were won by the science guy who played like a billion actions. How do you beat it? It doesn't seem like you can ...
